QIP 2021 FIRST CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The Conference on Quantum Information Processing (QIP) is the premier 
annual meeting for theoretical quantum information research. Since the 
first meeting in Aarhus, Denmark in 1998, the conference has featured 
breakthroughs by leaders in the disciplines of computing, cryptography, 
information theory, mathematics, and physics. The scientific objective 
of the series is to gather the theoretical quantum information community 
to present and discuss the latest groundbreaking work in the field. Most 
recently, QIP 2020 was held in Shenzhen, China.

QIP 2021 is the 24rd Annual Conference on Quantum Information Processing 
and will be hosted by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the 
Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST). QIP 2021 will 
feature a tutorial program, plenary talks, contributed talks, and a 
poster session. The conference will be held online in 2021. More 
information can be found at the conference website

https://www.mcqst.de/qip2021/

We invite contributions, both for talks and posters, on outstanding 
recent research in the theory of quantum information and computation. A 
QIP Best Student Paper prize will be awarded.

Submission instructions

All submissions for talks or posters must be made electronically through 
the online submission system EasyChair.
Contributed talks at QIP are intended to be representative of 
outstanding recent research contributions to the theory of quantum 
information and computation. In addition to a title and a short abstract 
(for the conference website in case of acceptance), each submission to 
QIP for a talk should consist of two components:

Extended Abstract: This should be 1 to 3 pages in length and contain a 
nontechnical, clear, and insightful description of the results and main 
ideas, their potential impact, and their importance to quantum 
information and computation. Extended abstracts should not be a 
compressed version of a full paper, but instead should facilitate an 
intuitive understanding of the research results that they represent and 
help the program committee assess their importance. Extended abstracts 
should be in PDF format, and typeset in single-column form with 
reasonable margins and font size at least 11 points. The 3-page maximum 
does not include references.

Technical Manuscript: This is a full paper describing the work, 
including technical details. This manuscript may be from an on-line 
repository, such as arXiv; however, a PDF copy of it must be uploaded. 
If your submission consists of multiple technical papers they should be 
merged into a single file.

The Program Committee reserves the right to decide how to treat 
submissions that deviate from the above format, including rejection of 
submissions solely on the basis of their format.

Best student paper prize

A submission is eligible for the Best Student Paper prize if and only if 
the main author(s) is/are a student(s) at the time of the submission and 
will present the work at QIP, and further a significant portion of the 
work (at least 60%) has been done by said student(s), including 
contributing the majority of the key ideas. Eligibility can only be 
indicated at the time of submission. All authors are notified if their 
paper has been labelled as eligible for the student prize, and have 14 
days following submission to voice any disagreements about the paper's 
nomination to the PC chair. The PC chair is free to ask for any 
clarifications regarding the students' contributions at any time.

Instructions for poster-only submissions

Poster submissions should be made using the same submission system as 
talk submissions. For poster-only submissions, only a title and abstract 
are required (i.e., an extended abstract is not needed). A technical 
manuscript can be attached. Please indicate in the required field 
"speaker" the person that will present the poster at the conference.

Easy Chair instructions

Go to https://easychair.org to log in (or create an account if you have 
not used EasyChair before). Then go to 
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=qip2021 to create a submission, 
select the appropriate track (talk or poster-only) and follow the 
instructions. Please check the box for Best Student Paper Prize only if 
all co-authors of this submission are aware of the eligibility criteria 
of the prize and actually support the choice. You may update or withdraw 
submissions up until the deadline; only the latest version will be 
reviewed. Submissions will be automatically closed immediately after the 
deadline, so early submissions are encouraged.

Please direct any questions or comments to the PC chair at 
qip2021 at easychair.org <mailto:qip2021 at easychair.org>.
